THE MEMORY OF SNOW

I am far, far too exhausted to be able to dredge up any meaningful or even meaningless thoughts for you today, so instead, here’s a picture of some snow to remind us all just how cold it got recently, in April for Pete’s sake...!

It’s only a week or two ago,

But now sunlight warms our faces

We should try not to forget

The memory of snow.

The bitter cold and harshness

The slipping and the slide

The digging and the driving

Which is the reality of snow.

Winter begins to deliquesce,

And melts into Spring,

Bringing with it new life,

And just the memory of snow.
